last time they said they reduce packaging save earth save costs for consumers

save lan cheow understand

this year die die wont buy from them. if must buy, either buy cheap or rather buy from hotels at least got nicer box

they scums lai de. last yr dunno is $70 or what or $68

every year whack higher and higher and still give the rubbish paper cardboard box

really is 乘火打劫

really must be scum to be successful. this one is max power just like some of the other scum establishments. give u cheaper discounts, say shit about other businesses but they profit more than others

Ya not going to supp. Rather buy from hotels or cheapo bakeries

This is ridiculous. They used to be cheaper and still good comparing to hotels. But that was 10yrs ago

I rem 10 yrs ago or even 15 yrs ago they start to be more exp

Now just $5 cheaper than raffles or elsewhr why still get this?

At least raffles all those give a nicer decent box

Doesnt make sense at all now to get from TCK

Moi was buying at from $30+ for a paper box for a long time. Then from $38 went up to $42...Still OK since less than $11 per piece while hotel at about $50+per box

Raffles hotel maybe around $60 for their champagne chocolate truffles.

But to pay for $20 per mooncake is really insane.
After that

I think u are talking abt 15 or more yrs ago. Early 2000s or late 90s 1 box all less than 50. 30 people kpkb liao. I rem maybe $28? Considered v ex liao. Neighbourhood bakeries ard $5+ for double yolk ppl kpkb until no tmr and complain ex.

Now i think $10 and abv for even neighbourhood bakeries. Talking abt double yolk per piece

But this tck confirm is new gen take over. Interview they got say before.


But to be $5 cheaper than raffles with shitty paper box u got to be kidding me

Ya...Ever bought at $28 before. Maybe in the 90s.

If you like the Teochew moon cake started by Crown Prince hotel, then Peony Jade, go Swatow Teochew restaurant. Quite reasonable.
